You can tell me anything
You are a true exception in my life
It sounded like she said she was in love
I then told her all the things that I had though I better keep inside
All of which revealed I was in love

All I craved was the rest but that's a priveledge non-existent
When the word is out and about

You think it's gonna settle down in a stable environment once you both know
But it isn't so when you're in love
If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't go back
I wouldn't stand the torture that they call being in love

It won't get better
It won't get better
Embrace the curse so it doesn't get worse

Contemplating everything while doing nothing
On the verge of tears just because you are somewhat in love
I don't wanna be afraid and worry in the shade about the end
When I should be out being in love

But I'll need some proof
Won't you treat me to a dose?
Although I know so well
I can't tell

It won't get better
It won't get better
Embrace the curse so it doesn't get worse

You can tell me everything
I'm old enough to know where you have been
I couldn't ever fall out of our love
Fact and fiction look alike when such a lightning strikes
But I believe that I can face the curse of being in love

    great song...pretty self-explanatory i think. there are no certainties in life and especially so in love. it's the age-old love is not a noun, it's a verb you've to keep working it if it's to remain.

    embrace the curse, so it doesn't get worse...brilliant summation of one way to deal with it, a little bleak but at least it's honest.

    oops, that should read "it's the age-old 'love is not a noun, it's a verb' adage. you've to keep working at it if it's to remain.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
